Tapo Camera

Describe The Bug: Cameras C320WS stopped working since Tapo latest firmware update 1.6.3 released at the end of April (build 260423). It looks like the TLS compatibility has been broken with the update. To Reproduce: The error message is quite evident in the log: SSL routines:ssl3_read_bytes:ssl/tls alert handshake failure ERR_SSL_SSL/TLS_ALERT_HANDSHAKE_FAILURE Expected behavior: We expected it should work as before. On the same HomeBridge instance C530WS and C560WS are still working properly. Logs: I append the log that indicates the stack executed at the initial fetch: [17/05/2026, …

Hi, i thought the currently available tapo work all the same, if the C500 is here requested (i was going to buy one) it currently seems to be not supported, but where can i find which tapo cameras actually work with this plugin? I think i just had luck, before i found that plugin i bought a C200 and i was laying around for some weeks. Since i like the C200 i was going to buy cameras for the whole house. I need to know which Tapos work please, i can't find anything i the documentation about specific models. Best Regards

The last few days, I’ve spent studying and testing how to get my Tapo C110 working with Apple Home while still being accessible in the Tapo app. In the end, what worked for me was downgrading to the oldest firmware: Tapo_C110v2_en_1.1.16_Build_220805_Rel.1965n_u_1664445156595.bin I then used the Homebridge plugin “camera.ui”, and everything now works perfectly. Additionally, this setup provides HKSV support (HomeKit Secure Video), meaning the camera can record directly to Apple’s iCloud. Below is an example of a fully functional configuration in the camera.ui plugin: The RTSP stream URL is …

Hi, i expect he used one found on the net or he contacted tapo, tapo has all it's old fw versions online also for the hw revision but you don't get the direct link without sniffing the packets. https://github.com/DrmnSamoLiu/Tapo_Camera_Firmware/issues/10 Seems to be a repository where they collect the fw in issues :D https://github.com/nervous-inhuman/tplink-tapo-c200-re/issues/4#issuecomment-1030056785 To grab specific fw watch in the list and add the url part: http://download.tplinkcloud.com/[URLPART] https://github.com/tapo-firmware/Directory/blob/main/all_keys.txt Turn off auto updates, …

TP-Link support made a beta firmware for me to try, I was able to get the c200 working with scrypted perfectly (scrypted is a camera application that works with homekit). But unfortunetly I couldn't get the c200 working wit Homebridge, so I'm just sticking with scrypted now as all my other IoT devices work with homekit already. The offical firmware update will be out soon, The plugin I tried was Homebridge Camera ffmpeg

I’m new to Homebridge so be aware😂 Today I was installing my c500 cam and received the exact same error. After unsuccessfully googling for a solution I was done and decided to start over. And with success, the error is gone. Unfortunately HomeKit doesn’t see the camera yet, but that’s for the next quest This is what I did. 1. Delete plugin in Homebridge 2. Delete camera in Tapo app 3. Install camera in Tapo app 4. Restore backup Homebridge 5. Install plugin older version 6. Upgrade plugin after configuration Et voila, error is gone. Why and how? I have no clue. I hope this works for you to

I use the homebridge tapo camera plugin because it also exposes a toggle option for privacy and alarm. I have it for a couple of months running Ok but for a while now all cameras just become unresponsive. I already rebooted the system, even did a removal and re-pairing of all cameras, but after just a few minutes working, everything goes back to being unresponsive. Logs show connection timeout. It's frustrating. I also tried camera.ui before. Same thing. I have scrypted now. And while adding cameras via onvif is easy, it's still the same end point -- working for just a few minutes then it's …

Hi, since there is no direct support for PTZ in Homekit what about Switches to select a specific saved viewpoint of one of the PTZ cameras? Afai can see there are 8 viewpoints to save, maybe they can we called by a webcall or some onfiv command? I tried to find something out about it, nothing yet. I wrote Tapo support to get an answer, hopefully... For the case it's possible we may can define a default viewpoint to which the camera returns after X minutes if it's not on default viewpoint. Like this some kind of patrol (which will kill the motors and the mechanics, it just takes time) would …
